  2. Motivation Tobias Schafhitzel – Real-Time Rendering of Planets with Atmospheres

  3. Outline • Introduction • Atmospheric scattering • Computation of the scattering texture • Rendering • Results • Conclusion and future work Tobias Schafhitzel – Real-Time Rendering of Planets with Atmospheres

  4. Outline • Introduction • Atmospheric scattering • Computation of the scattering texture • Rendering • Results • Conclusion and future work Tobias Schafhitzel – Real-Time Rendering of Planets with Atmospheres

  5. Introduction • Rendering a planet’s atmosphere • Physically based computation • color shifts, light attenuation • Sunset, sunrise, midday • Combination with terrain rendering • Real-time approach • Games • CAD • Explorative tools (i.e. Google Earth,…) Tobias Schafhitzel – Real-Time Rendering of Planets with Atmospheres

  6. Previous Work • Atmospheric Scattering • Atmospheric Scattering Effects of the Earth [Nishita et al. 93] • Real-Time Atmospheric Scattering [O’Neil 04] • Interactive Rendering of atmospheric Scattering Effects using Graphics Hardware [Dobashi et al. 02] • Accurate Atmospheric Scattering [O’Neil 05] • Terrain Rendering • Real-Time continuous Level of Detail Rendering of Height Field [Lindstrom et al. 96] • Real-Time Generation of continuous Level of Detail for Height Fields [Röttger et al. 98] Tobias Schafhitzel – Real-Time Rendering of Planets with Atmospheres

  8. Atmospheric Scattering • Light scattering equation: Pv Pc Pa atmosphere φ Pb earth Tobias Schafhitzel – Real-Time Rendering of Planets with Atmospheres

  9. Outline • Introduction • Atmospheric scattering • Computation of the scattering texture • Rendering • Results • Conclusion and future work Tobias Schafhitzel – Real-Time Rendering of Planets with Atmospheres

  10. Computation of the scattering texture • Parametrization of the 3D scattering texture: • Arbitrary height h = |Pv| • For each h Arbitrary view angle θ • For each θ an arbitrary angle to the sun φ φ θ Pv h Tobias Schafhitzel – Real-Time Rendering of Planets with Atmospheres

  11. PV PV PV Intersection Tests • Camera inside the atmosphere → use 1st intersection • Camera outside → no scattering → move camera to outer boundary → constant height for parameterization → use 2nd intersection • Two textures for intersections with • Inner sphere • Outer sphere • Easy to switch when rendering Tobias Schafhitzel – Real-Time Rendering of Planets with Atmospheres

  12. Outline • Introduction • Atmospheric scattering • Computation of the scattering texture • Rendering • Results • Conclusion and future work Tobias Schafhitzel – Real-Time Rendering of Planets with Atmospheres

  13. Rendering the sky • Sky: tessellated sphere • View ray Rv • connect vertex Pg with camera Pv • Compute h, θ and φand map to [0,1] • φis constant (directional light) • Fetch the scattering texture (simple lookup) Pc Pg φ Rv θ Pv Tobias Schafhitzel – Real-Time Rendering of Planets with Atmospheres

  14. PV Rendering the terrain • More complex • Consider structure of the terrain • Naive computation fails • Distance too long • Terrain color not considered • Solution • Compute scattering along PvPb • Subtract contribution along PgPb • Two texture lookups: Pg Pb Tobias Schafhitzel – Real-Time Rendering of Planets with Atmospheres

  15. PV Rendering the terrain II • Considering the terrain color • Illumination of the terrain • Incident light is attenuated: • Reflected light is attenuated • Overall light contribution: Pc Ig Igv Pg Tobias Schafhitzel – Real-Time Rendering of Planets with Atmospheres
